CONAN THE BARBARIAN: THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS OMNIBUS – IN 2019

Earlier in the year (seen HERE) AFJ reported that Marvel Comics would have one of their classic comic book characters back in their stable. That character was CONAN THE BARBARIAN. The news has been quiet on that front for months, but today Marvel has announced that they will collect the Conan stories from their archives into an Omnibus. Check out the full details below! #AFJ4LIFE

Press Release: Know, oh prince, that in the year 1970, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, sword in hand, slashed his way into four-color life. This January, ahead of Conan’s triumphant return to Marvel Comics, Marvel is proud to announce the release of CONAN THE BARBARIAN: THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS OMNIBUS. Fully remastered, this tome features Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith’s ground-breaking adaptation of Robert E. Howard’s iconic character.

Collecting CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1-26 from 1970-1973—as well as material from 1971’s SAVAGE TALES #1 and #4, CHAMBER OF DARKNESS #4, and CONAN CLASSIC #1-11—the CONAN THE BARBARIAN: THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS omnibus presents each story in all its glory, from covers to letter pages, all painstakingly restored to match the beauty of the original editions.

Relive the early exploits of Conan across shining kingdoms of an age undreamed of, as he becomes thief, slayer and a legend.
